Casteism is a kind of Exploitation. The Caste system is based on a mythological account of a creation of man.

Manu Smriti 1.31. “But for the sake of the prosperity of the worlds he(god) caused the Brahmana, the Kshatriya, the Vaisya, and the Sudra to proceed from his mouth, his arms, his thighs, and his feet.”

It is a derogatory and condescending to call someone a Dalit or a Dalit Christian. This idea of “Dalit Christian” is borne out of a pervasive influence of Hindu culture. We must reject and refute this repulsive teaching. There are two inherent problems with this notion of classification or grouping.

First It denies Genesis account of the creation of man. God created Adam the first man in His own image.

Genesis 1:27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

We are all descendants of Adam therefore, we all are of one race and one caste. We all human beings are either “Brahamins” or all “Dalits”. If Dalit means low, untouchable, depraved race then according to Romans 3:23 all humans are depraved and fallen short of the glory of God. It is an attack on our Fundamental doctrine of creation. Therefore, we must oppose and reject this repugnant classification of mankind.

2. Second this classification of Christians discredits what Christ has accomplished through his death and resurrection. It undermines and belittles our glorious status in Christ Jesus. It is an assault on our doctrine of Salvation. We must militantly defeat and dismiss this abhorrent unbiblical categorization of Christians.

When we become Christian irrespective of our background then God changes our status Galatians 3:26-29. No longer we are “Dalit” or “Depraved” humans but on the contrary, we are now (in Christ)
